About Steve
Steve Gengenbacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 44 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. He also addresses issues like coping with life changes and struggles with self-esteem.
In sessions he keeps conversation straightforward and practical. He listens to what is happening now and works with clients to clarify what needs to change. He uses plain language and focuses on realistic steps people can try between meetings.
Steve uses several approaches depending on the issue. Client-centered work means he follows the client's concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers skills to shift them.
He also draws on existential ideas to address meaning, life purpose, and midlife questions. Imago Relationship Therapy informs his work around intimacy and relationship patterns when those topics come up.
Steve has worked across many settings during his career and brings that experience to everyday concerns. He often helps people dealing with isolation, career stress, forgiveness, and challenges related to aging or divorce. People who want direct, practical conversation about their temper, resentment, or relationship friction may find his style a fit.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Steve often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s concerns and priorities, letting the conversation follow what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to sort through feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT can be useful for anger, anxiety, low mood, and stress by providing tools to manage reactions and try new ways of thinking. Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with clients to identify goals and decide which methods fit best. That collaboration means plans can change as needs and progress become clearer. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten a check-in, or avoid travel time. They also let people keep regular appointments during work hours or while handling caregiving and other responsibilities.Areas of expertise
